Palin Launches Blistering Attack on Obama's 'Leadership'

I know, I know, granted you will be even busier very soon. After all, golf season kicks into high gear shortly. NBA and NHL brackets await. Summer vacations and that all-consuming campaign whistle stop tour will no doubt slam you. But I would ask, while the rest of us are also busy working, saving, planning ahead, fighting to protect our Constitution, and trying to keep up with where and why you're spending our Department of Defense funds - I'd ask that you find time to tell Americans the truth about the state of our union and what you are doing to find solutions to our challenges. Please start with explaining Libya.

I disagree. She is raising very legitimate issues and putting them in words that the average American can understand.

Why in the world are we in Libya at all? What is our mission? Why is Obama in campaign mode out trying to raise a billion dollars to get reelected when there are so many other important issues that need to be confronted?

Every day, in every way, Obama continues to display his utter incompetence and unworthiness. I think it is great that Sarah lays it out in such clear and understandable terms.

Their plan is evil because THEY are evil.

Yeah, that's brilliant....reduce this to good versus evil.....then the liberals can rant about how the GOP is the party of Christian whackos.

Palin has a far, far better tactic here......if some of you would THINK about it.

Questioning Obama's leadership will turn liberals off to him as well. They are pissed that this man-child squandered a fillibuster-proof majority and enacted watered-down crap (in their view).

If we elected someone we truly believed was a conservative and gave him/her a fillibuster-proof congress, only to find out that they did not lead on the issues and couldn't even repeal Obamacare, what would we think?! We would be equally pissed!

Palin is hitting Obama right where the vast majority of this nation knows in their guts.....he is incapable of making real decisions, he refuses to lead his party on their issues and he refuses to lead this nation on the world stage.

If you want to re-capture the idiotic middle who mostly decide these elections, you MUST stick to tangible attacks that affect everyone.

While I see the birth certificate and his religion as an issue, most people don't care. I agree he is trying to destroy the economy, but the average person will defend him if you tell them it is a conspiracy.

The people want jobs, a decent economy and a government that lives within its means. It is that simple.

Tell people that Obama gives a new teleprompter speech where he is going to focus "like a laserbeam" on the economy every few months, but somehow, gas prices go up, food prices go up and the unemployment rate does not go down. Why? Obama cannot lead.

Oh no we can’t talk about them all because the ruling republican elite say we can’t follow more then one issue at a time. (I’m sorry what was I saying?)

I don't remember. Robert Gibbs was yelling in my ear about how I am supposed to denounce the TEA Party and shuffle back to the GOP Elders.

Please ping me when his state of Maryland votes for the conservative Republican over obama!

Another great idea. He shouldn't vote at all because his state won't vote conservative. He doesn't stand a chance...Outstanding idea!

It’s easy to read down a Palin thread and pick out the Sarah haters, isn’t it? BTW, I don’t mean you.

You said: “It almost sounds like Palin and Trump are tag-teaming in the attack.”

I wish I thought our side were that thoughtful and coordinated. You know, a real “vast right wing conspiracy.” Well, except that Trump ain’t on the right so much.

She is loosing ground to Trump, he is setting the agenda, she needs to step up.

If she doesn’t support the US Constitution let us know now so we can support someone that does!!!!

Here is the whole note.


America Deserves Libya Explanation

Please make up your mind, Mr. President. You can’t vacillate when spending America’s human and fiscal resources in yet another foreign country without good reason. You said that Libyan leader Gaddafi has got to go. Many of us heard that as your call to action and agreed, “Okay, you’re right. He’s an evil dictator who kills his own innocent people, so enforce a no-fly zone so he can’t continue an aerial slaughter.” But then you said our mission in Libya isn’t to oust Gaddafi after all. (Or vice versa on the order or your statements. Between you and your advisers the public has been given so many conflicting statements on why we’re intervening in Libya that I apologize if I can’t keep up with the timing and rationale of your murky foreign policy positions.)

At this point, to avoid further mission creep and involvement in a third war – one we certainly can’t afford – you need to step up and justify our Libyan involvement, or Americans are going to demand you pull out. Simply put, what are we doing there? You’ve put us in a strategic no man’s land. If Gaddafi’s got to go, then tell NATO our continued participation hinges on this: We strike hard and Gaddafi will be gone. If, as you and your spokesmen suggest, we’re not to tell Libya what to do when it comes to that country’s leadership, and if you can’t explain to Americans why we’re willing to protect Libyan resources and civilians but not Syria’s, Yemen’s, Bahrain’s, Egypt’s, Israel’s, etc., then there is no justification for U.S. human and fiscal resources to be spent.

I would also ask you to better explain your thinking on Libya. We can’t afford any actions that don’t take care of crucial U.S. needs and meet our own interests at this point. You are the Commander in Chief, so please explain what you believe is our “interest” there and not elsewhere.

Mr. President, your hesitation and vacillation in the Middle East breed uncertainty. It’s symptomatic of the puzzling way you govern. See, uncertainty is one of the factors over which you have control, and I would think you’d want to eliminate that additional element that helps breed problems like higher oil prices. Higher oil means exorbitant gas prices weighing down our economy. Consistency and strength – and greater domestic energy production – will help fix higher gas prices and help heal the economy. But only with leadership. These sorts of problems don’t fix themselves.

It’s unbelievable to me that you spent last week in campaign mode, gallivanting around the country to start raising the billion dollars for your reelection bid that is still 19 months away “while Rome burns.” Our economy is in the tank; jobs are as scarce as ever; you’re asking Congress to let you incur even more unsustainable, immoral, freedom-stealing government debt; and many of our brave men and women in uniform are shaking their heads in disbelief over your befuddled military directions. Yet instead of working with Congress and a wise multitude of advisers to fix some problems, you choose all this campaigning, already? As was recently asked: When do you ever just “roll up your sleeves, unplug the teleprompter” and do the job of governing and administrating for which voters hired you?

I know, I know, granted you will be even busier very soon. After all, golf season kicks into high gear shortly. NBA and NHL brackets await. Summer vacations and that all-consuming campaign whistle stop tour will no doubt slam you. But I would ask, while the rest of us are also busy working, saving, planning ahead, fighting to protect our Constitution, and trying to keep up with where and why you’re spending our Department of Defense funds – I’d ask that you find time to tell Americans the truth about the state of our union and what you are doing to find solutions to our challenges. Please start with explaining Libya.

I agree fred, look at my tagline. I am saying Trump is setting the tempo, she needs to step up her game.

68% of voters think Obama isn’t a NBC....only 32% think he is NB.....

hello Sarah, wake up, smell coffee.

NOTHING is off limits. I want him in his house,,, hearing the doorbell, and then seeing a guy breaking into the bedroom window,,, and hearing his garage door opening, and then hearing footsteps on the roof.

Attack on all fronts and run this rat out of office,.

Are you having a difficult time following your own voter talk? Do something about the state voting democrat, [like actively supporting conservatives] instead of complaining about them.
